Liverpool defenders Rhys Williams and Billy Koumetio have been linked with moves away from the club this summer.
Both Rhys Williams and Billy Koumetio need ample game time in order to continue the development. And a report from The Athletic has claimed that the two academy graduates are considering their options heading into the final month of the summer transfer window.
League One clubs are keen on signing Williams this summer, and it will be interesting to see if Liverpool are prepared to send him out on loan. Meanwhile, Turkish clubs are keeping tabs on the talented defender as well.
Williams has previously had sporadic opportunities at the Premier League club, and he has impressed with his maturity and quality. However, he needs a sustained run in the first team in order to continue his development. Meanwhile, Koumetio is reportedly attracting interest from Scotland and France.
Williams and Koumetio need to leave
Both players will need a fresh start and regular game time to fulfil their tremendous potential. It would make sense for Liverpool to send them out on loan so that they can continue to improve. Sitting on the bench at a big club will not benefit them at this stage of their careers.
Regular game time away from Liverpool will help both players regain their form and confidence in the upcoming season. If the two players continue to improve in the coming months, they could return to Liverpool as better players next summer. It would give them a better chance of pushing for a place in the first-team squad.
Alternatively, Liverpool could look to sell them for a profit next summer if they manage to impress on loan. It will be interesting to see if any club is willing to sign them permanently this summer. Perhaps a permanent exit from Liverpool might not appeal to the Premier League club.
Rhys Williams and Billy Koumetio will hope that the two players impress on loan so that their market value can soar over the coming months. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Liverpool have plenty of options at their disposal now, and they will not be able to accommodate the two youngsters in the squad. It would make sense for all parties to go out on loan.
